Great stuff by all appreciate all.

What I've personally witnessed the most was folks adjustable bases fail, due to stripping typically. Believe it happened to me once as well.

Therefore I like to KISS. Talley LW is simple, but a few have failed it seems. Failure itself is one issue, diagnosing the cause of said failure can reveal if it's solely the result of product failure. Likely some directly and others not so much related.

Wrongside, I have been curious about the NF, but no plans soon due to funds, should I deem an NF worthy of its price tag. I am neutral on that NF but do know the brand has many loyal happy users. That said, many are Tac shooters who have much twisting mileage on glass.
